Oct 31, 2017 #### Tuscan charm with Modern Furnishings Villa Il Gelso is a beautiful property with the all the benefits of a quiet countryside location with views of Montepulciano and the modern furnishings you would expect in a city hotel. It all combines for a perfect place to relax in comfort and enjoy the many villages just a short drive away. Our group thoroughly enjoyed the villa and all of the nearby activities that come with it. Mariacristina is a great hostess and was happy to arrange multiple activities including truffle hunting with Pierpaolo, chef nights at the villa with Alessandro, and wine tasting at a small family Brunello estate which was the best winery experience any of us had ever had. She was very attentive to our needs which was much appreciated. We will be back! ##### john e.

We stayed at this villa in June 2017 for our wedding in Montepulciano. The villa was absolutely perfect. Mariacristina made us very welcome, and was most helpful throughout our stay. The villa is beautifully decorated. The bedrooms were all very spacious, even the smallest is a good size and all of the bathrooms were immaculately presented. The villa is remote, quiet and peaceful surrounded by stunning views. It's located about a 15 minute drive from Montepulciano (taxis varied in price from 25euros to 70euros - no idea why). The setting is perfect with lots of outside space and a lovely pool area. Both Montepulciano and Montefollonico are nearby and stunning places to visit and the countryside and views are endless, I cannot recommmend this villa and Montepulciano in general highly enough. ##### Eleanor S.

Sep 9, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### I gave Villa IL Gelso and Mariachristina my highest 5 star rating. Wow - I don't know where to begin. We absolutely loved the time we spent here. The Villa was exactly as described - rustic, private, clean, peaceful, comfortable and with all the modern conveniences. It was hot for a few weeks and the air conditioning worked great. The location is 15 minutes to Montepulciano and even less time to Pienza. Close enough to food shopping and anything else you need, but far enough away to really sense that you are in the Tuscany countryside. The grounds and pool are well maintained and the views and sunsets are amazing. The cleaning crew came every Saturday to change towels, sheets and do a thorough cleaning of all 3 houses. Mariacristina was a great host and always made herself available for questions, recommendations and any minor issues that came up. We hired a cook to come twice and our entire family had a wonderful time and the food was absolutely delicious. I gave Villa IL Gelso and Mariachristina my highest 5 star rating. Thank you so much for a unforgettable vacation. ##### David C. Stayed 28 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Deborah B.

It was as lovely as the description and accommodated both our group activities and meals, as well as plenty of spots to get away from the group with a book or a nap. But the real jewel was our hostess, Mariacristina. For the year leading up to our trip there she patiently answered a ton of questions, always responding within hours of our emails. She gave us some great recommendations and helped arrange a visit to De Ricci, an amazing winery, and a chef who came to the villa to make us a couple dinners. She even led a yoga class for us on the grounds! While we were there she was immediately responsive to any of our requests. She had described her villa to me as "shabby chic" and I would add to that extremely cozy and welcoming. ##### Linda H. Stayed 7 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Melanie B.

Ich kann einen Aufenthalt in der Villa Il Gelso mit Freude weiterempfehlen. ##### Christoph E. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Andreas S. Sep 22, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Wunderbar! Wir waren mit der „erweiterten“ Familie (6 Erwachsene) für zwei wundervolle Wochen in der Villa Il Gelso. Die Villa mit ihren beiden Cottages ist herrlich geschmackvoll restauriert und ausgestattet. Es fehlt an nichts. Aufgrund des grandiosen Wetters konnten wir den großen Pool ausgiebig nutzen. Landschaft und Aussicht sind traumhaft. Besonders empfehlen können wir auch die Kochkünste von Tuscan Chef Alessandro, der in den beiden Wochen dreimal bei uns war. Insbesondere der Kochkurs mit vier Gängen, inklusive selbstgemachter Pasta (Pici), war ein Riesenspass. Unsere Vermieterin Mariacristina war jederzeit für uns da und hat uns neben Restaurantempfehlungen auch bei der Organisation von Wine Tastings unterstützt. Fazit: herrliche Location für einen wundervollen Urlaub in der südlichen Toskana! ##### Andreas S. Stayed 14 nights in Sep 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jörg R.

Schöner Blick. Sehr schöner Pool aus Travertin. Super Service, jeden Tag wurde der Müll abgeholt, die Klima sofort repariert. ##### Jörg R.
